The 2.6 challenge has certainly inspired a number of Felstedians in recent weeks. A number have opted for covering a distance of 26 miles or kms by running or cycling but we've also seen some different  interpretations of the challenge. Shesh A-J has decided that his 2.6 challenge would be based in the kitchen. 

Shesh said “I felt I wanted to do something  that helps me learn a new skill, but also gives me a break from online learning, getting away from the screen. I set myself a challenge to cook 26 dishes from 26 countries to celebrate internationalism and different cultures and support the Felsted Charities at the same time by doing this. I don’t usually cook and if I do it’s often simple dishes. This is a real challenge for me, but another positive I can take from lockdown 2020.” 

Shesh has been sharing his dishes via Twitter and the anticipation in waiting to see, not only which dish but which country will be featured is very high. Apparently, even some family members don’t know which land they’ll be transported to until dinner’s on the table!
